Finesse? Not Since Jefferson Dined Alone … : A man named Shaun Kenney was recently named Executive Director of the Virginia Republican party. Here is a post of his from the blog, Bearing Drift. In it he argues that “Conservatives have a moral duty to drive out nativism once and for all.” It becomes clear by the end of the post that when he says “nativist” he’s including more or less everyone in the party who opposes “comprehensive immigration reform.”
“There are 12 million people in the United States today who want a better lives for themselves and their families, whose only crime was that they came to America to do it.
‘”The nativists have a very simple solution: apprehend all 12 million of them, boxcar them back to their point of origin, and drive them out as so many locusts. …
‘”he American conservative movement has driven out ideologies from our camp once before. We drove out the progressives and the America First movement in the 1940s. We did it again with the John Birch Society in the 1960s. We did it once again with the anarchists in the 1980s. Every time we have purged the ranks of poison, we have emerged stronger …
“It’s time to clean house.
‘”You will hear a lot of talk in the coming months about immigration reform. In it will be included guest worker programs, documented worker status, real border enforcement that doesn’t require walls, and a sound program that takes an antiquated immigration system and brings it into the 21st century. That’s not amnesty, that’s reform.
“Conservatives embrace the idea of more Americans coming into this country to work hard and prosper.
“Nativists reject Pedro. …
“Drive em out, ladies and gentlemen. …”
I’m a Democrat, so I can’t be too offended by this, though there are plenty of Virgina Republicans who might be. If the state GOP wants to empower this sophomoric sneerer slanderer to insult their core voters with language reminiscent of Daily Kos on a bad day, that is the state GOP’s problem. But maybe the press should drop the PR that says Kenney got the job because he’s “worked well with both sides.” Or, in his own words describing his suitability for the post:
“It takes a little bit of finesse … and generally being tolerated by all side to be an effective executive director. The executive director is kind of like the first diplomat.”
If Kenney is the Virginia GOP establishment’s** idea of a diplomat, it should be an interesting few years. Or weeks. …
P.S.: Attempts to reach Kenney by phone and email were unsuccessful.

**–Kenney seems to be an Ed Gillespie person. Gillespie is running for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Democrat Mark Warner. He has long been a strategic squish on amnesty, though not necessarily amnesty that ends in citizenship. Does Gillespie share Kenney’s cheesy Manichean view of the opposition?
Time for a third party yet?
Entered illegally.
Sometimes caught, returned, and re-entered illegally.
Fabricated stolen identity cards.
Avoided taxes.
Milked welfare.
Wired billions back HOME to Mexico (taking the money out of our economy while expecting taxpayers to pay THEIR living expenses).
Cut loose when caught DWI (too much hassle dealing with non-resident defendants, trial expense, legal expense, prison expense,...).
Plenty of scofflaw charges.
I’ve never heard of this guy.
Why should I care what he says?
Anyone can say they’re a Republican and then spout all kinds of nonsense. Democrats have done it before.
Time for a third party yet?
***************
They sure are confident. I am glad they are forcing the divide though.
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.
And there are 1 billion people in India/Pakistan/China etc. who want better lives. Do we start a ferry service?
And I’ll ask this IDIOT the same I’d ask of Jeb Bush: Really? ALL 12 MILLION (more like 20) came here for a better life? None came to take advantage of the system? Commit crimes? Run drugs and prostitution?
Really? NONE of them do that??????
And there are 313 million AMERICANS that would have better lives if we weren’t beld dry paying taxes to give these illegals free crap!
DROP DEAD!
The GOP is going to die on this issue. Its a loser and they can’t seem to grasp it.
IBM told US born tech professionals that they’d be better off moving to India. They would receive lower salaries but their money would go farther.
Our country is screwed.
“Time for a third party yet?”
Past time.. These morons are the enemy of a free people just as much as the Democrats. A progressive is a progressive no mater what party they are in.
Do those things and illegal aliens will deport themselves and pay for the trip.
HEY! That’s ME!!
“The GOP is going to die
Reagans GOP is already dead. They have been infiltrated and are now under the control of progressives.
The Republicans are quickly becoming MORE of my enemy than the Democrats.

It may be time for it, but it will not work, as it will always be sucking the hind teat.
The only hope is to primary out the socialist from the Republican party and replace them with true conservatives.
Time continues to run out, as the black and illegal immigrant populations continue their rapid expansion.
Well past time, 2DV.
Suggestions? Is it possible to advance one of the existing splinter parties? The Constitution Party, perhaps?
Good one!
The Tea Party name is already out there.
